Time...It marches on...without ever turning around to see if anyone is even keeping in step.

Specifically I have been working on the 54' PS covered hoppers. Since they painted the parts on the sprues I instantly have "white" spots where they were cut off. But, I have not found a way to get enough glue onto many of the parts without messing up the paint. It seems to catch the vapors of the glue and disolve. The structural frames that go between the bottom of hoppers are particularly trouble some. Do others just not glue them? What about all the tiny pins on the brake lines and linkage. I've used a 000 brush and still can't keep the glue from spreading beyond its designated location, and mussing up the paint.
